Forks to Feet: Running My Way to Plant-Based Freedom

I can’t believe it’s finally here! After spending the last two weeks pouring my heart and soul onto paper, formatting text and images, and learning how to piece together a digital manuscript, the Forks to Feet eBook is complete! Many thanks go out to the guys (and girls) at Starbucks for keeping me going on less than 4 hours of sleep a night. My goal was to get the book completed before classes started back (which is today). If I hadn’t, it would have become buried beneath a load of homework, never to be seen again. It was no easy feat, but neither is running a marathon. I think I just love a good challenge.

The book is Forks to Feet:Running My Way to Plant-Based Freedom. Throughout the book, I reminisce about the journey that got me to where I am today. I wasn’t always sipping kale smoothies and running marathons. And it wasn’t a direct path that got me here either. I dealt with many challenges; challenges to which others can surely relate. While writing, I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to open up about certain areas of my life. Some things are better left unsaid, I thought. But after talking to several friends and praying on it, I decided to put everything on paper. Why hold back? I wanted you (my readers) to really get to know me and understand the challenges that I have faced. More importantly, I wanted you to see how I made it through them.

I share how I got through all of this and began running. Running (and practicing a spiritual life) filled a void which I kept buried deep within the pit of my stomach. With a new outlook on life, and some great friends, I found hope. I also found out what it meant to eat healthy. I would have never imagined that I would be eating a plant-based diet, let alone eat a vegetable or fruit for breakfast. Today, I feel great, look great, and enjoy life more than ever!

But it’s not all about me. Throughout my story, I tackle some problems that “new” vegans will face. In the book, I show you how I overcame these problems.

Here are some of those problems:

-Worrying about what others think
-Where to get B12 and Protein
-Learning how to talk about nutrition without pushing your views
-Dealing with skeptics
-Eating with omnivores
-Fear of becoming sick
-Not knowing what to cook
-Learning where to shop for groceries

Going plant-based was the best thing that I ever did for my health, but it did come with unforeseen challenges. If you, or someone you know, are thinking about switching to a vegan diet, this book could save you much of the heartache that I endured. It can jumpstart your journey and help you to live the life you always wanted. Let me show you how I lost weight, got healthy, and learned to live a happy and meaningful life!
